Depression

There are many different kinds of depression, and there are degrees to which how severely it can affect you and your life.

It is important to distinguish between feeling a bit down sometimes – which is natural – and experiencing a period of feeling low which does not seem to go away and is more likely to be a clinical depression of some sort. Remember that your doctor should be one of the first people you could go to if you feel like this.
